What kind of fan is that in your car, mechanical or electric fan? Do you have the p/n for the upper and lower rad hose?
 
Sorry Steve I dont have part numbers on those hoses when I redid the engine and engine compartment last winter I tried to find new hoses but gave up and cleaned up the ones that were on the car when I got it, the ones in the picture are those. As far as the fan, Thats a 26 inch radiator and a late 60's B body shroud. the fan in there at the moment is a 17 inch with a thermostatic clutch
its the Hayden one off the Jaguar. I cant remember the part number but I have it somewhere if you need it. It clears the radiator by 1/2. Ive been doing some hit or miss testing with fans and I think I'll be switching to a flex fan without the clutch but keeping the shroud. The thermo fan doesnt seem to pull enough air around town through that high fin count radiator.:( I'll get it right sooner or later.
